speakers for listener with Tinnitus


What speakers would you recommend that soften the highs etc., that might lessen the symptoms of Tinnitus?

Hey everybody,

Have had Tinnitus for 35+ years, I found that good room treatments, I had cork wall paper installed, cuts down on refection and gives more of a "comfortable" soundstage. This is my opinion but I think that the situation might be a little different. The sensitivity of the ear at those high frequencies can be altered by basically tricking your mind and hearing to listen to other frequencies in the spectrum. Martin Logans I think are spectacular for the situation because you have one panel dedicated to the midrange and up. I can say that fatigue happens I about 2-3 hours, unless the Bourbon is out! 
Aperion audio is detailed buthe smooth. They are very easy to listen to. They may not be high end but sound very very nice.
As as a pro musician for almost 5 decades my ears often ring so loud that sometimes other people can hear them! I still get paid to mix (mostly Jazz these days) live shows so the ringing in my head must not be leaking into the mix…lucky...

+1 on EQ/tone controls as being your starting point.

You really should figure out exactly what you need first, before doing speaker trading. You can do this most easily with an EQ. THEN worry about getting all audiophile about the speakers.
